Follow Your Corrupt Heart

If you were to remove your blinders and poke your head out of the cocoon of cluelessness that obscures your view of reality, you would discover that human beings are mostly terrible. There are a few examples of kindness, generosity, patience, humility, compassion, and some other virtuous behaviors. These are the people you’re thinking about […]
What If Christians Believed What God Says?

A ‘Christian author’ who claims to be ‘helping men become healthy’ posed the question: “What if men were held to the same modesty standards as women?” It’s the kind of question a guy asks when he wants to let women know he’s progressive and he doesn’t care about looking weak and stupid. Feminists love stupid […]
Should She Marry An Axe-Murderer or Count Dracula?

Self described relationship expert, Sheila Gregoire posed this question: “Would you rather your daughter married a technical virgin who pushed past the boundaries of his girlfriends routinely (which is sexual assault), or someone who had had consensual sex in the past but had always honored the girls he was with? (If you had to choose […]
Don’t Make Peace When God Makes War

Ben-hadad was a king of Syria who told Israel to hand over all their stuff (gold, silver, wives, children, etc.) Ahab was King of Israel at the time and he agreed to Ben ha-dad’s terms. (The Bible says, ‘There was none who sold himself to do what was evil in the sight of the Lord […]
Jesus Didn’t Hang-Out Like You Do

Jesus didn’t ‘hang out with sinners.’ Tow truck drivers aren’t ‘hanging out’ with you when they tow your disabled vehicle. A fireman doesn’t run into a burning building to ‘hang out’ with the family inside. A lifeguard doesn’t jump into pounding surf to ‘hang out’ with a drowning person. You don’t make an appointment with […]
You Can’t Be Friends With Pagans

“John, you should build relationships with unbelievers. Earn their respect. Make friends with them so they’ll be more likely to listen when you share your faith!” I first learned this important evangelism principle when I was a youngster in Sunday School. I’ve since heard it repeated thousands of times in sermons, seminars, classes, and church […]
No Distinction Necessary

It’s hard to convince Christians that friendship with the world is hatred towards God. When I speak too bluntly about atheism, I get comments like this one: “I make a distinction between atheist, some of whom I count among my friends, and anti-theists. Atheist simply don’t believe in a god, but are respectful of religion […]
Sawing Is Not Hammering

For those who are still salty about audio books not being books: Using a hammer is a different process than using a saw. I know this comment is judgmental. I don’t want anyone to be upset so I will respond to a few of your criticisms. I’ll add a lot of smiling emojis in order […]
Audio Books Are Not Books

This is just for readers. This article will exclude the audio book crowd but don’t let that worry you. They aren’t readers so they don’t know they’re being left out. You know how you sometimes you get annoyed with me for constantly harping about ‘deconstruction?’ You roll your eyes and shake your head and say […]
Nobody Is Independent

There are no ‘independent woman’ or ‘self-made men.’ Raising ‘independent women’ requires you to define what you mean by ‘independent.’ Children depend on adults to teach them how to feed themselves, dress themselves, speak, write, and think. Wise adults teach the skills that prevent their children from becoming a burden (or danger) to others. Good […]
